I read the "fedora-update" script. It goes into a lot more detail.

The three commands listed seem to do nothing more than to update one 
application, that being yum, and then to do post-update cleanup on all 
applications. Where is the command to install the Fedora 18 versions?

So I think, when I can block out enough time, that I will install and 
run that "fedora-update" script.
